All bots on a given wiki have a row in the user_groups table with ug_group set to 'bot'. So, you can use that to get the list of all bot accounts on a wiki.

Hallo!
I'm needing a list of all active Wikipedia bots in all language versions in order to judge how important the edits are which I read from the table `revision' from databases like `dewiki_p'. I want to discriminate bot-edits from other minor edits by checking if the corresponding user name is that of a bot.
I could, of course, extract the names of all bots from HTML by parsing the page about `All Wikipedia bots' http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:All_Wikipedia_bots
But very likely there's a much more convenient way, like an sql table containing the bots.
(The list of bots running on the Wikimedia Toolserver http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Wikipedia_bots_running_on_the_Wikimedi... contains to few bots for my purposes.)
Best Philipp
